Oldham

The cheapest unleaded in town currently starts near 139p per litre. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 7 of the 57 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Costco around The Broadway. Several of the busier sites sit along Cavendish Street and Milne Street, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider North West England figure. Diesel averages around 161p per litre across the stations we track in Oldham.

The comparison covers stations up to roughly 8 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre. The cheapest station in Oldham is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
